When told there were no gun services at that location, the man left the mall.

But the report of a firearm triggered a lockdown, beginning at around 12:08 p.m. The all-clear came around 1 p.m.

Officers responded to the scene after the initial report and began the process of clearing the mall. Police said there were no reports of injuries.

Those at the mall were asked to shelter in place.

Reports from the scene indicated people were being evacuated from the Target entrance, and a large police presence was visible on that side of the mall.
